I stop reading watever crap that fellow was trying to say here when I discovered how foolish and stupid he was. In fact the whole crap he postulated here didn't make any reasonable sense to me, so I deduced he was trying to make things up just to sound relevant, as I never believed all wat he was saying here. Or how best can u describe it? From borrowing money which he would repay in few weeks time just to go for tourism, traveling without money, calling his mom to send him money, getting to the beach in Benin, leaving his bag to a total stranger to go see the water, meeting a fisher man and making promise to get him an Android phone, etc. In fact I regretted reading the few I did. He's worst than a dummy, a slowpoke and an slowpoke all join. Honestly I don't believe in wat that fellow is saying here and if truly they happened, then he's truly an imbecilic, moronic, dimwitted asshole, period.

Well i have a feeling it happened o, u know all these naive ajebos naw it's their way.

I have a foundation, I’ve been doing giveaway(father Xmas) or whatever you call it for a while, even in Nigeria too, I don’t discriminate, everyone is the same.. poor. Rich, sick, healthy, we’re all the same.. yet we’re different, I love adventures, you like other things, don’t condemn, what you have no knowledge of. I only created the topic for prospective travelers to learn from my experience so they don’t fall victim

You traveled to a foreign country…


With no cash. You Just left on a borrowing spree?

Calling people to request cash ‘as needed’.

No plans… not to talk of a back up one?


Don’t know if this is living life on the edge… recklessness or SOMETHING ELSE.

I kinda like your personality though!

Baba, it’s not reckless, I have a foundation, we have people that donate, most esp I love adventures and I’m always ready to try out something new, been involved in several accidents that killed people, escaped death several times, its up to you to believe.. I love adventures and I always love to give

Everyone is wise, smart or intelligent or until it happens to them. I’m a fool, I agree, you might know more than me, I don’t dispute, but you don’t know everything I know..

Bro I am not against your adventurous spirit…

I like adventure too. Probably more than you. I don’t query your wanting to give out to people- that’s a good thing too.

Just pointed out that you maybe need to be more careful next time and probably plan better for your next trip.

I don’t think it was wise of you traveling on empty pockets and start calling for funds from friends and family even from the Nigerian borders. Don’t want to go through reading the story again but if I recollect clearly you became stranded and started calling for assistance right from the Nigerian border- baba that’s crazy.

Like I said I kinda like you though. I am not bashing you.

Just plan better next time. This your trip had very poor planning- you didn’t even have a place to sleep in a foreign land you never been to before.

That’s crazy adventure bro!

Thanks Bro, I love adventures, some loan apps had borrowed me about 70k in the evening of the previous day.. so I had that, but couldn’t access my bank because I had given the bike man , I use USSD

Thanks, I had planned to stay at the beach(to save cost) for my two day visit, I planned to go to Togo(for two days) and then Ivory Coast for two days , all by road for fun.. Crazy

Reason I believe you is cus I actually went for a wedding around idi iroko this weekend with friends, before Ipokia. I nearly lost my mind, I drove and drove and drove. Immigration go flag me down I go match accelerator all go japa. I didn’t know I was approaching the border. No single filling station was functioning😂. From idi iroko I almost got to Owode coming back before I see fuel buy. Meanwhile I dey face that Owode-Atan road for night, tipper fell again as usual. I will NEVER drive there again, you try. 😂 Thank God for the captain black I was smoking while driving, na that one dey give me energy wey eyes clear. I don’t mind if I know it’s far, I’ll prepare for it but no wyn me say idi-iroko na just 5 minutes after Owode. Me and groom fight no be small.
